Imma delete since imma respect a don’t respond by the person but like. It’s so irritating that white people consistently put their own feelings on the frontlines every single time. It’s “kinda rude” that u were called racist but I literally go “sure he’s an immigrant” as if that’s not important to Superman’s story at all. “But he cares” and that’s what pisses Lex Luthor off and causes him to demonize him that’s like the whole point of the allegory being made and why replacing it with queerness instead of adding/mixing it in is so insulting. Like me personally I’m a little mean bc I don’t like stories that ignore that aspect at all which atp in fandom is a majority, but that creator literally spoke about how they didn’t like the one to one comparison to their art bc their art heavily focused on xenophobia and Clark being an immigrant for a reason. It’s not saying the comic itself is pinkwashing it’s talking about the connotations being made and the idea that one is interchangeable with the other, which u obviously agree with since u used that stupid ass 3 slots shit.

#talking to a brick wall but it’s so annoying #again I’ll always respect a ‘I don’t wanna see em’ anymore on someone’s page #i just drafted it whatever #but the fact that that person is going ‘two things can exist at once’#and then explaining why It’s fine to ignore one in favor of the other actually is so???#and It’s one thing if they BOTH came outta thing air #like if this was bruce and the exact same convo was being had it’d mean nothing tbh #but like the Jewish roots and immigrant allegory is just as engrained into Clark as that fuckass forhead curl #exchanging that for a queer hc is the problem bc YOURE saying they both can’t exist at once #Bc ur ignoring one for the other #they didn’t blame the queer community but I sure as hell am blaming white queer ppl #for not only failing to conceptualize anything outside themselves but crying victim and calling us rude when we point out u only get there #by being racist 💀#and the reply literally started with they love to see more queer reeeeadddinnngs #like do u think the same convo would be happening if the comparison was between a comic where Clark was queer and had the poc themes down?#let’s use our thinking caps #also using poc as shorthand dpmo
